Hobel

Barthobel

Etymology

From Middle High German hovel, hobel, hubel, etc., from Old High German hovil, huobil. This is perhaps an early borrowing from Old Saxon because until the 14th century the word was chiefly Low German; compare Middle Low German hōvel. The wide variety of forms may also corroborate this. Related with Hubbel (“bump”), dialectal Hübel (“hill”), Dutch heuvel. It seems uncertain whether the noun Hobel was derived from the verb hobeln or vice versa.
